LTM W-Nikkor 3.5cm 1:1.8 Serial Numbers

I think this is a new record for a LTM W-Nikkor 3.5cm F1.8 lens. With the box and paperwork, a collector's delight. Sold for JPY 900,000. I didn't expect it to go that high.

It just needs a hood to go with it. Shame this one's not boxed, so no good for a discerning collector.

 
Jon,

Number 182119 on your list with a Red “C” is my lens.

I also have the vintage lens cap marked “Nippon Kogaku Tokyo.”

BTW my MM loves this lens.

Thanks, Cal!

Interesting that we've yet to see a serial number outside the range of serial numbers we've known for some time. Only 1544 lenses in total if Nikon used all the serial numbers in the known range (very unlikely imo).

Jon,

Great to know 1544 might be the max, and likely less.

In the past somewhere I heard less than 1700.

Anyways great to own this lens, and it gets used a lot.
